MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIAD: ‘Mathematical Olympiad’ is a talent search programme of international significance for students who have not entered a university. In India this is organised by the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM), since 1988. This is conducted in three stages, the Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) usually held during October- December in 18 regions, the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) held in February and then an International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) Training Camp in May-June, from where a six-member team is selected to represent India in the IMO, held in July in different countries. Academic coordination is mainly done by the MO Cell in the Department of Mathematics, IISc, Bangalore. -6- IMO started in 1959 in Romania with the participation from just 7 countries. Even though the IMO is of comparatively recent origin, National Mathematical Olympiads have a long history. It was Hungary, which in the year 1894 started what is known as Eotvos Mathematical Competition. Though during the first few years the IMO was confined to the countries like Poland, Russia and Bulgaria, other western countries also started to participate during sixties. At present this mega event of the mind has a truly international character and has a participation from more than 80 countries. The questions asked in the olympiads are really challenging and it measures the student’s capacity for original and critical thinking.

  • Arithmetic Equivalence and Isospectrality
    ARITHMETIC EQUIVALENCE AND ISOSPECTRALITY ANDREW V.SUTHERLAND ABSTRACT. In these lecture notes we give an introduction to the theory of arithmetic equivalence, a notion originally introduced in a number theoretic setting to refer to number fields with the same zeta function. Gassmann established a direct relationship between arithmetic equivalence and a purely group theoretic notion of equivalence that has since been exploited in several other areas of mathematics, most notably in the spectral theory of Riemannian manifolds by Sunada. We will explicate these results and discuss some applications and generalizations. 1. AN INTRODUCTION TO ARITHMETIC EQUIVALENCE AND ISOSPECTRALITY Let K be a number field (a finite extension of Q), and let OK be its ring of integers (the integral closure of Z in K). The Dedekind zeta function of K is defined by the Dirichlet series X s Y s 1 ζK (s) := N(I)− = (1 N(p)− )− I OK p − ⊆ where the sum ranges over nonzero OK -ideals, the product ranges over nonzero prime ideals, and N(I) := [OK : I] is the absolute norm. For K = Q the Dedekind zeta function ζQ(s) is simply the : P s Riemann zeta function ζ(s) = n 1 n− . As with the Riemann zeta function, the Dirichlet series (and corresponding Euler product) defining≥ the Dedekind zeta function converges absolutely and uniformly to a nonzero holomorphic function on Re(s) > 1, and ζK (s) extends to a meromorphic function on C and satisfies a functional equation, as shown by Hecke [25]. The Dedekind zeta function encodes many features of the number field K: it has a simple pole at s = 1 whose residue is intimately related to several invariants of K, including its class number, and as with the Riemann zeta function, the zeros of ζK (s) are intimately related to the distribution of prime ideals in OK .

    Milnor’s Problem on the Growth of Groups and its Consequences R. Grigorchuk REPORT No. 6, 2011/2012, spring ISSN 1103-467X ISRN IML-R- -6-11/12- -SE+spring MILNOR’S PROBLEM ON THE GROWTH OF GROUPS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES ROSTISLAV GRIGORCHUK Dedicated to John Milnor on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Abstract. We present a survey of results related to Milnor’s problem on group growth. We discuss the cases of polynomial growth and exponential but not uniformly exponential growth; the main part of the article is devoted to the intermediate (between polynomial and exponential) growth case. A number of related topics (growth of manifolds, amenability, asymptotic behavior of random walks) are considered, and a number of open problems are suggested. 1. Introduction The notion of the growth of a finitely generated group was introduced by A.S. Schwarz (also spelled Schvarts and Svarc))ˇ [218] and independently by Milnor [171, 170]. Particu- lar studies of group growth and their use in various situations have appeared in the works of Krause [149], Adelson-Velskii and Shreider [1], Dixmier [67], Dye [68, 69], Arnold and Krylov [7], Kirillov [142], Avez [8], Guivarc’h [127, 128, 129], Hartley, Margulis, Tempelman and other researchers. The note of Schwarz did not attract a lot of attention in the mathe- matical community, and was essentially unknown to mathematicians both in the USSR and the West (the same happened with papers of Adelson-Velskii, Dixmier and of some other mathematicians). By contrast, the note of Milnor [170], and especially the problem raised by him in [171], initiated a lot of activity and opened new directions in group theory and areas of its applications.

This workshop brought together specialists in areas ranging from arithmetic groups to topological quantum field theory, with common interest in arithmetic aspects of discrete groups arising from topology. The meeting showed significant progress in the field and enhanced the many connections between its subbranches. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 11-XX, 20-XX, 22-XX, 53-XX. Introduction by the Organisers The workshop New Perspectives on the Interplay between Discrete Groups in Low- Dimensional Topology and Arithmetic Lattices was held June 22 – June 26, 2015. The participants were specialists in areas ranging from arithmetic groups to to- pological quantum field theory, with common interest in arithmetic aspects of discrete groups arising from topology. The mornings of the first two days of the meeting were devoted to longer lectures by senior participants aimed at surveying the new developments in their respective areas of research. These lectures were given by Alexander Lubotzky (on arithmetic representations of mapping class groups), Julien March´e(on topological quantum field theory), Eduard Looijenga (on algebraic-geometric aspects of mapping class groups) and Joachim Schwermer (on automorphic structures). All the remaining talks were reports on recent progress on one of the themes of the meeting. The meeting showed significant progress in the field and enhanced the many connections between its subbranches.

Annotation Course Description Dynamical systems in our course will be presented mainly not as an independent branch of mathematics but as a very powerful tool that can be applied in geometry, topology, probability, analysis, number theory and physics. We consciously decided to sacrifice some classical chapters of ergodic theory and to introduce the most important dynamical notions and ideas in the geometric and topological context already intuitively familiar to our audience. As a compensation, we will show applications of dynamics to important problems in other mathematical disciplines. We hope to arrive at the end of the course to the most recent advances in dynamics and geometry and to present (at least informally) some of results of A. Avila, A. Eskin, M. Kontsevich, M. Mirzakhani, G. Margulis. In accordance with this strategy, the course comprises several blocks closely related to each other. The first three of them (including very short introduction) are mainly mandatory. The decision, which of the topics listed below these three blocks would depend on the background and interests of the audience. Course Prerequisites / We expect our audience to be familiar with basic differential geometry, Recommendations basic topology and basic measure theory. Аннотация Курс о современных динамических системах - это обзор результатов, полученных в нескольких направлениях за последние тридцать лет, причем основной упор делается на задачах, которые пришли из соседних разделов математики - маломерной топологии, теории чисел, геометрии - и оказались решены с помощью методов теории динамических систем или, наоборот, возникли исторически в динамике, но потребовали для своего решения привлечения инструментов из других областей - комбинаторики, теории вероятностей и других.

  • Random Walks in Negative Curvature and Boundary Representations
    RANDOM WALKS IN NEGATIVE CURVATURE AND BOUNDARY REPRESENTATIONS. KEVIN BOUCHER Abstract. In this paper we establish a version of the Margulis Roblin equidistribution theorem’s [28] [32] for harmonic measures. As a conse- quence a von Neumann type theorem is obtained for boundary actions and the irreducibility of the associated quasi-regular representations [3] is deduced. 1. Introduction Given a non-elementary discrete group, Γ, acting properly by isometries on a proper roughly geodesic hyperbolic space X,d , two main classes of measures can be constructed on the Gromov boundaryp q X of X,d : the harmonic measures and quasiconformal measures.

  • Group Actions on 1-Manifolds: a List of Very Concrete Open Questions
    P. I. C. M. – 2018 Rio de Janeiro, Vol. 3 (2053–2080) GROUP ACTIONS ON 1-MANIFOLDS: A LIST OF VERY CONCRETE OPEN QUESTIONS A N Abstract Over the last four decades, group actions on manifolds have deserved much at- tention by people coming from different fields, as for instance group theory, low- dimensional topology, foliation theory, functional analysis, and dynamical systems. This text focuses on actions on 1-manifolds. We present a (non exhaustive) list of very concrete open questions in the field, each of which is discussed in some detail and complemented with a large list of references, so that a clear panorama on the subject arises from the lecture. From the very beginning, groups were recognized as mathematical objects endowed with a certain “dynamics”. For instance, Cayley realized every group as a group of per- mutations via left translations: G P (G); g Lg : G G; Lg (h) = gh: ! 7! ! For a finitely-generated group G, this action has a geometric realization: We can consider the so-called Cayley graph of G whose vertices are the elements of G, two of which f; g 1 are relied by an edge whenever g f is a generator (or the inverse of a generator). Then G becomes a subgroup of the group of automorphisms of this graph. In general, the group of such automorphisms is larger than the group G. A classical result of Coxeter, Frucht, and Powers [1981] consists on a slight modification of this con- struction so that the automorphisms group of the resulting graph actually coincides with G.
